How to mimic an adjustable buckle with rope.

  • This knot acts similar to an adjustable buckle with nylon webbing. I guess you could call it a locking slip knot. I used it to mount an IPad to a headrest, fix a broken backpack, and adjust a guy line on a tent. I don’t know the name of this knot. If you do please leave it in the comments. #knots #paracord #rope

    FCA, this video not only demonstrated a very innovative slip knot, but your explanation of the diamond knot was one of the best and clearest demonstrations I've seen on RUclips. Well done.

      The minute you do it, the school prankster will pull the quick release and the whole works will come apart. Your kid may not know how to retie it. The factory straps have stops sewn into the ends by doubling or tripling the webbing, which you would be wise to emulate.

    This is interesting as it's the opposite threading to a knot we use for tying bales: the knot tightens and holds the straw when re-binding an opened bale. Testing your threading method, the knot slips after tightening (using polypropylene baler twine). Threading the tale end the opposite way as we do, it tightens and holds fast.
    The addition of a release loop is novel however! This takes a self cinching knot and makes it very versatile - although I'd stick with our opposite threaded bale knot as it doesn't slip under tension.
    For tents, I'd always use a tautline with quick release bight: far quicker to tie and release for tarps.

    Cool knot for a buckle where the tag is pulled 180 deg for tightening. As for the friction hitch on a standing line, I've done something similar for my kids tablets in the backseat but used a simple prussik for tightening. Hold the prussik and pull the tag to tighten, or pull the standing end to loosen. I find they slide easier and hold exceptionally well.

  • @SuperD37
    @SuperD37 2 года назад +5

    Great idea and design. Like any other knot, it has places where it excels and others where a different knot is called for. Superior to a taightline for specific applications and yes, it will slip, but only if the knot isn't dressed properly before tension is applied.
    I waited to comment until I tried this knot in a variety of applications. Some mentioned the taughtline hitch after identifying the one time this knot slipped in the video. I've seen taughtline hitches slip before and for the same reason - knot needed to be properly dressed up before tension applied.
    Good job and great innovation. Keep thinking outside the box; thats how we improve.

      Update. If you pull on the loop after you create the knot, and you pull hard enough it will slip unfortunately. Have you guys tried that? Other adjustable loops will not slip no matter how hard I pull. But this one will slip with high-quality 550 paracord.

    Practiced and cataloged! Don’t know how many buckles I popped in the field and fussed with tying something up at a fixed length. I can definitely use this, and I think I will incorporate it into a a primitive backpack design.
    It’s great for slings of any sort for quick adjustments. I find in the field, there’s no true comfort length to anything. As you get moving and thing shift around and settle in, an adjustment on the fly is crucial for comfort and weight distribution.
    I made one with the pull tab portion as a loop with a hangman’s noose as a stopper knot for a simple functional and decorative look. Think I may play around with some flat knot designs for sleek comfort.
    Great work!

    Update. I can get it to slip when I form the 3 loops as you did at the beginning of the video (where u twist it twice to create the loops). But when I create the 3 loops using your 2nd method (laying one line over the other) the knot does not slip. If u examine the 3 loops carefully u will see that they are different (ie look at how the middle loop is formed) when created. Thanks again.
    Last update…I stand corrected. If I clinch the knot up really tight the adjusted loop will not slip no matter which method is used to create the 3 loops. Time to Adjust my dose of medication!!

    I love creative ideas like this. Thinking through what I have used before, a truckers hitch works just as well, with a 2:1 mechanical advantage and an easy release from a slipped half hitch. I wonder if this will knock it off the pedestal.

    • @mygeekdom4414
      @mygeekdom4414 2 года назад +1

      I’ve wondered if it could take the same load as a truckers hitch under extreme loads. However for moderate loads like at camp sites, the truckers hitch (to me) is now replaced.
      After thinking about it, consider using a system with 2 loops. One loop is the traditional hitch’s loop snd the second one is this knot. When tightening the rope the goal is to tighten these to loops closer together.

    In the example with the black and red paramax, you thread the black through the two windows and then loop it over the red cord's working end, then thread it out the first window. If instead you looped the black cord around the red's standing end, and threaded it back out through both windows, first I find this works at least as good but I haven't tested it much, and second, now it is an enhanced sheetbend where instead of the red wraping around once, it wraps around twice, and crosses itself twice. I don't know proper knot names or anything but this seems like a lead on what it might be called

      Really close to the sailors hitch as well now that I think about it. The difference is in that tuck going through the bite instead of under the cross.

  • @lazydragonslayer
    @lazydragonslayer 2 года назад +1

    When you tied the knot the second time with your figure eight loop and you passed the loop over top
    Itself instead of twisting it, did you not just change the way the knot it tie.
    Right? I like the idea. I’ll defiantly Use it. Just curious if it’ll act differently if you twist the loop vs placing the look overtop itself.
    The difference can be seen between 1:05 and 3:00

    Pretty neat, literally. I've been trying to figure out how to do exactly this for quite some time (making a guitar strap entirely out of paracord). Last week, I accidentally discovered the trucker's hitch does exactly this as well, if you don't mount anything to the lower portion after tying the first loop. Going to have to test this out and see.
    Insane how difficult it's been to find anything on the web on this topic.
